Letter Writers Alliance

While in Chicago this weekend for the Renegade Craft Fair, I went a little fan-girl on the fine folks from the Letter Writers Alliance. I, of course, immediately became a card-carrying member of the Alliance and look forward to being an active participant in the group. I love sending and receiving letters and cards as much as I love collecting pens and pencils.

If you are a lover of correspondence and want to “Save the mailboxes”, hop on over to the Letter Writers Alliance and join today. You’ll be glad you did and maybe I might just end up being your new pen pal.

Only one more day to get Blue Q tyvek bags on sale on Fab.com. I posted this Airmail zipper pouch in the past but now you can get it for just $4 which is about half of what I paid for mine last week. Tons of other designs are available so take a peek.
